I accidentally sat on my remote, and now all my tv will do is search for channels and then tell me to hook up cable, and press menu. I cant get any other buttons to work. I've tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in, but that's all it will do. I dont have channels hooked up to it, i never have. Just a dvd player. The tv is a Sanyo, probably about 5 yrs old. Can anyone help me with this?

This is the television in my bedroom, that's why there's no channels

Have you tried unplugging it for a few minutes? TVs and computers remember what they where doing if you only unplug them for a few seconds because they have capacitors that store an electrical charge.

I believe the remote is stuck. Take the battery out of the remote. This should solve one problem. Also if your dvd player has a modulated output (tv channel) hook it up to that. With the dvd player on, the tv should find that channel. Try to pop the remote open and carefully move the buttons to free them. If need be, get a new remote. A universal one would work. Programming instructions come with them.

You might have a button stuck on the remote. Take out the batteries first, then look to see if there is a corner of a button sticking down. If your tv still does this with the batteries from the remote out, it's possessed and you should rid yourself of it ;)~
